Today\u2019s poem is from "Spring and All" by William Carlos Williams. The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual.
It\u2019s fall, and that means \u201cback-to-school\u201d. We put together this week\u2019s episodes for the educators in our audience \u2014 especially those of you who may be looking for a little Slowdown treatment on those classroom classics, from Shakespeare to Frost. We hope you all enjoy these selections, as learners of any age.
In this episode, Major writes\u2026 \u201cTime is the river that never dries up, that is always in motion. Yet, cycles of elections and global conflict appear as if we are going through the same debates and battles again. For sanity\u2019s sake, it helps to remind myself that we are always moving forward, that change is real even if it seems elusive.\u201d
